Maureen Dowd: Don't know much about algebra (Or manners, or decency, or journalism...)

WASHINGTON Lawrence Summers, the president of Harvard University, has been pilloried for suggesting that women may be biologically unsuited to succeed at mathematics. He may have a point. Just look at Condoleezza Rice.

She's clearly a well-educated, intelligent woman, versed in Brahms and the Bolsheviks, who has just been rewarded for her loyalty with the most plum assignment in the second Bush cabinet. Yet her math skills are woefully inadequate.

She can't do simple equations. She doesn't even know that X times zero equals zero. If you multiply 1,370 dead soldiers times zero weapons of mass destruction, that equals zero achievement for Rice, who helped the president and vice president bamboozle America into war.

LOL, send her to Holland, I hear they just started euthanizing people who have lost their happiness and don't have a meaning to go on.

if you kill one jihadist, two more arrive to take his place; if you kill three, five more pop up; if you get five, eight more appear, and so on.

And if you don't kill any, they kill 3,000 of us in a fell swoop.

Always the best part of any Dowd column, the C Z-J photos.

Dowd NEVER disappoints!!!!!!!!!

Maureen Dowd is foggier than Denny Crane. Actually, he's smarter. He even has a quote I'm fond of which would leave the Left running screaming for the hills. As much as I like the sound of the name, character, the tagline is much more fitting. A true ignoramous like Dowd will never get it.

Denny Crane: "I look to two things: First to God and then to Fox News."

Maureen Dowd: Don't know much.

My favorite equation: Dowd + FreeRepublic = Zeta Jones

This is the last article written by this twit that I am ever going to read.

I am not going to waste my precious minutes on the whining of a bitter and jealous woman.

Y'all do it for me and I will just read the comments.

Yes, as an amateur student of topography, I find the lay of KZJ's terrain quite preferable to that of Mo Dowd...

[tai-pan]

quite nice...but relevant?

She certainly needs Nurse Ratched to administer her medication...

Absolutely relevant. MoDo was dumped by Michael Douglas for Catherine.

[ladtx]

Mo, baby, you've been trying to think again haven't you?

[television is just wrong]

All posts about M. Dowd contain pics of CZeta-Jones. At least most that I've seen.

That hurts, she'll need another Gin and Tonic...

[Piquaboy]

Wow! I could care less if this gal knew anything just as long as I could look at her.

[gridlock]

Does anybody read this harpy shrew anymore?

Folks used to think she was clever, now she just sounds bitter. Even die hard libs I know just kind of look the other way when they see one of her columns. Kind of like passing a blood car wreck on the freeway. The only people who look are the ones who want to see bloody bodies.

For now, Sam Cooke's song is right about the Bushies. They don't know much about history.

Yeah, Maureen. You know all about history. Michael Douglas met Catherine and YOU WERE HISTORY!!!
